direct from the ground; there is no 

 need for cold storage or waiting for 

 spring thaws. It is an ideal time 

 for setting Hardy Plants along the 

 Pacific Coast, in the South, and 

 other mild sections. 



My collection of Iris, Phlox, Holly- 

 hocks, Michaelmas Daisies, Even- 

 ing Primroses, and a host of other 

 plants, includes only the rarest and 

 most desirable varieties.

Gladiolus Enthusiasts 



You Simply Must Have 



PRINCE OF WALES 



The gladiolus beautiful, color a clear, 

 glorious, shimmering apricot salmon melt- 

 ing to a throat of the sweetest yellow. The 

 Ophelia Rose of the gladiolus world. 



It is invariably selected by visitors as 

 the most striking and magnificent color 

 combination in my gardens. 



Prince of Wales is extremely early with 

 large flowers on a tall, strong spike and is 

 a rapid multiplier; this with its incom- 

 parable color gives a flower of singular 

 charm. There are many white, pink, yel- 

 low and red gladioli but this is the one and 

 only salmon. Awarded a First Class Cer- 

 tificate at Haarlem, Holland. 



I believe that I have the largest true 

 stock of this variety in America and al- 

 though within the last two years this has 

 sold as high as $1.50 per bulb, I can offer 

 it at the very reasonable price of 25 cents 

 apiece for strong flowering size bulbs, $2.50 

 per dozen, five for $1.00, postpaid.

Send Early 

 for Our Catalogue 



npHE idea in suggesting that you send early for the 

 ■*• catalogue is because with the war over, there is go- 

 ing to be a wonderful demand for seeds of all kinds. 



The world war has greatly reduced the supply. Those 

 who, during the war, have found out the economies, 

 not to mention the genuine pleasure of vegetable gar- 

 dening, will be planting more seeds than ever. 



The returning soldiers will be taking up their garden- 

 ing again; adding their demand. As a natural rebound 

 from the depressing thoughts of war, flowers will 

 be planted as never before. Which in turn, will mul- 

 tiply their use. 



Therefore, send for your catalogue early; so you can 

 order your seeds early. You will then be reasonably 

 sure of securing the ones of your choice, before the 

 necessarily somewhat limited stock is exhausted. 



Send 35c. for the catalogue. With $5.00 purchase oj 

 seeds, the 35c. will be promptly refunded
